Abstract. We address a fundamental question concerning spatio-temporal database systems: “What are exactly spatio-temporal queries?” We define spatio-temporal queries to be co...
We present an effective optimization framework for general SQLlike map-reduce queries, which is based on a novel query algebra and uses a small number of higher-order physical ope...
We address aggregate queries over GIS data and moving object data, where non-spatial information is stored in a data warehouse. We propose a formal data model and query language t...
A survey of effective characterizations of tree logics. If L is a logic, then an effective characterization for L is an algorithm, which inputs a tree automaton and replies if the...
Ontology languages to represent ontologies exist in large numbers, and users who want to access or reuse ontologies can often be confronted with a language they do not know. Theref...
